Colonialism earlier, developmentalism later and neo-liberalism today has introduced a full-fledged capitalist system. This in turn has created a legacy of economic growth that has increased inequalities and expanded poverty.Simultaneously it has given unimaginable opportunities to a section of the growing consuming class.It has also paradoxically led to environmental degradation, deforestation and increasing pollution prompting questions of economic and ecological sustainability. While we remain an agrarian society, growth in agriculture has declined and peasant life has been destabilised. New cities and elite enclaves have emerged while some old ones have had got breath of new lives and others have died out organising this large urban population into informal modes of work, labour and housing.

  • Indian National Congress Sessions
    Indian National Congress Sessions INC sessions led the course of many national movements as well as reforms in India. Consequently, the resolutions passed in the INC sessions reflected in the political reforms brought about by the British government in India. Although the INC went through a major split in 1907, its leaders reconciled on their differences soon after to give shape to the emerging face of Independent India. Here is a list of all the Indian National Congress sessions along with important facts about them. This list will help you prepare better for SBI PO, SBI Clerk, IBPS Clerk, IBPS PO, etc. Indian National Congress Sessions During the British rule in India, the Indian National Congress (INC) became a shiny ray of hope for Indians. It instantly overshadowed all the other political associations established prior to it with its very first meeting. Gradually, Indians from all walks of life joined the INC, therefore making it the biggest political organization of its time. Most exam Boards consider the Indian National Congress Sessions extremely noteworthy. This is mainly because these sessions played a great role in laying down the foundational stone of Indian polity. Given below is the list of Indian National Congress Sessions in chronological order. Apart from the locations of various sessions, make sure you also note important facts pertaining to them.

The leaders of this phase are called moderates. The Indian National Congress (INC) Formed in 1885 by Allan Octavian Hume, a retired British civil servant. Other founding members include Dadabhai Naoroji (Born on September 4, 1825) and Dinshaw Wacha. The first session was held in Bombay under the presidency of Womesh Chandra Bonnerjee in 1885. The first session was attended by 72 delegates from across the country. Viceroy of India at the time was Lord Dufferin who gave his permission to Hume for the first session. The Congress was formed with the intention of discussing problems faced by the people of the country irrespective of caste, creed, religion or language. It was basically a movement of the upper and middle class, western-educated Indians in its moderate phase.
